Where to buy a SV regulator/rectifier?

I need a new one as my one is bust, Ive looked at previous posts and one had a link (gah forgotten it now) but it was 65 pounds. Any places you know are cheaper or better?

Oh yer for a 2001 curvy SV650S

There one on Ebay

hope this helps

Hmm yer but its Ebay and always worried about the whole *NEW* aspect of it.

Where as buying from a well known retailer you get some form of guarntee and some warrenty on the product.

SidSquid usually recommends alternative versions I think. Don't know which specific ones are suitable (extra wire goes direct to battery I think), but if it's a Honda one you might find slightly better prices here

e.g. NT650V Deauville one is £55.

Evening.
Try Electrex on 01491 682369, I've used their stuff for years with few problems. You get 12 months guarantee too.

Cheers.

Electrex are very good and know their stuff really well.

But I'd still convert to a six wire H*nda or Kwak style reg/rec, they just work better, the average standard Suzuki often doesn't fully charge the battery even though the system isn't apparently failing, if the bike is in constant use it may never be a problem, but if it's only used sporadically particularly if an alarm is fitted, it certainly can be. A battery kept properly charged lasts longer, makes starting easier, and in borderline conditions may well make the difference between pressing the button and pushing.

Thanks for the Info. What type of Honda or Kwak should I go for? any preferences on model type, also how hard is it to convert the six wire one to fit into the sv?

Evening boys and girls.
At the risk of starting a bunfight, I'd say, if you must deviate, go for a Kawasaki rec/reg. They are usually vastly superior to any Honda item! Most Hondas over the last 10 years or so have used a 5 wire type, which in my opinion are not the most reliable unit on the market. Any 6 wire one that you may come across will therefore be at least 10 years old, and possibly past it's prime.
Peter at Electrex designs his units differently from standard, often ensuring that the charging rate is higher at lower RPM, therefore avoiding the infrequent use/flat battery syndrome!
Incidentally the 6th wire is usually for voltage sensing, this helps to detect when an increase in the charging rate is needed. I.E. in heavy traffic.

Cheers.
